Perfect for Reading, Streaming, and Everyday Use
I’m really impressed with the Kindle Fire HD 8. It’s fast, lightweight, and the screen is bright and clear. It's perfect for reading, browsing, and watching shows. Battery life is solid, and I love how portable it is without feeling flimsy. I mainly use it for Kindle books and streaming Amazon Prime Video, and it handles both effortlessly. For the price, this tablet is a great value and fits exactly what I needed. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a reliable and budget-friendly device.

Great tablet--Love the trade in program
This latest Fire Tablet was an upgrade from a previous purchase. When I bought my tablet in 2013 It was all I needed. I was able to read books in the dark, search the web, and watch youtube. It did everything I wanted.After 12 years it was time to upgrade, everything still worked, but it seemed slow and some of the apps were not updating.I really like the trade in program with Amazon. Instead of having another unused item laying around the house. The trade in was so easy. I choose the option to take it to the U-break it store and they processed the trade right there.Only one inconvenience the first time we went to the U-Break-it their computer system was down and they were unable to process the trade,. I went back the next day and everything was taken care of in about three minutes.The tablet has a very clear screen, though not up to the standards of higher priced tablets, still good enough quality to not leave you wanting.The processor is very quick, no more buffering for it to access, and streaming is seamless. This is now the third tablet I have purchased, my daughter also has one, and I highly recommend it for those that need a good quality tablet. If you are needing something for drawing or dead on accurate colors, then you will have to go more expensive, but for most needs this tablet fits the bill.

Great tablet for 2025
I bought this a a replacement for my old Samsung tablet from 2019. They are both almost the same size so it fits my needs. The Amazon 8 tablet it use to use its touch screen it responsive with no lag, it was easy to use from shopping on Amazon to downloading the apps that I used to have on my Samsung to the Amazon tablet. I bought a protective case and it fits perfect adding extra protection to my new tablet. The battery life it great as well I can watch movies and videos and only 50% of the battery gets used. This really is a great tablet for everyday use.

Great little tablet for the price.
this tablet is great for the black friday price. initial set up was rough, device froze, but its up and running now. the apps that i could get run well, and i enjoy watching movies and reading comics on it. Audio is good from the 2 speakers and theres a headphone jack, which is a plus.I got ad support. it isn't too invasive, only on the lock screen which is fine. the ads come in muted but watch out for hitting that speaker button, the audio will play at almost full volume.i knocked a star off because there isn't google play support out the box. I was able to side load it onto the device, but that took a bit of effort. Even still, some apps and games i wanted to play still are not compatible on this device.I also put a 1 tb micro sd card in. you have the option to set it to internal memory or portable memory. I chose internal and that card now lives in the tablet. all apps and other data install directly onto the card. 32gb base is unusable in 2024, so I'm glad theres an option for a micro sd card.overall, i like this purchase. bought it mainly for its form factor. having a tablet this size is easy to bring around with me and even fits in my hoodie pocket.

Sleek design and awesome app functions
So far so good. Great affordable tablet to have Looks very sleek and works well. I mostly use the silk browser. It does work a little slow when it comes to typing, but it gets the job done

Amazing product!
Very durable, has been dropped so many times. This tablet takes a beating and keeps on going. There are no cracks at all. Still works as good as when I first bought it 6 months ago. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small tablet for videos and regular games. The charger charges the tablet very fast. The screen is very durable. It's very easy to use.

Great tablet, great value
I've used a Fire tablet for years and would not be without one. For the price they can't be beaten imo. I thought my previous one had died so I immediately ordered its replacement and upgraded to the 64 gb memory. I also always add a memory card so I can download and keep movies, etc. with no worries. I keep all my Kindle books, over a thousand, downloaded on it of course, and much of the amazon music that I own. Also useful for watching Prime, Youtube, or other streaming videos. I also check my email, my Ring cameras, use Alexa including controlling my Wyze devices, and have several streaming and simple game apps on it. It's a very versatile, durable little tablet for basic daily use. It does everything I need in a tablet. I use my laptop for things requiring much keyboarding and for browsing the internet, but this tablet does that too.My older one came back to life after this one arrived but I decided to just keep both. This one is a newer generation, but I'm not a techie and can't tell much difference in the two. If buying one I'd choose the newer one but I don't see a need to upgrade from the previous version if yours still works. I highly recommend the Fire tablet. At certain times of the year they are ridiculously inexpensive and are still a great value at regular price.

Great deal over all
I love and I'm very happy with my tablet. I mainly use it for reading. It has a lot of the apps I use, so that's nice. It has the dictionary app in the store that I use on my phone and now on my tablet. I was happy about that. It was not hard to set up. Battery life is great. Speed of tablet is awesome. I like how you can put up any image for the background. Screen is vibrant. It functions just like my android phone but bigger. I love the screen size. Over all great experience so far!
